BRANDON, Man. — A 15-year-old boy is dead and another 15-year-old boy is charged with first-degree murder after what police say was a stabbing in Brandon, Man.

Officers started CPR on the injured youth when they found him unresponsive at a central-area location early Wednesday evening.

He was taken to the Brandon hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police say the teen who was arrested knew the other boy.

They believe the motivation for the homicide was personal.

A court appearance was scheduled for Thursday, along with an autopsy.
